The parts that were good were brilliant. Very witty, smart, thought provoking. The satire and use of irony was so well done. It explores an array of characters and I really liked learning about each of them. It broke my heart in a lot of sections and the experience of reading it really felt like a journey. My only fault would be the pacing, some sections I couldn't put it down and others dragged a little. And some of the points felt a little repetitive. However it is certainly a book which I would recommend everyone reading and is still very relevant to society over a 100 years on.
